im so lost, i need help.useless degree?????

so i'm doing biological and chemical sciences at cov uni, but the course is not accredited and there's hardly any lab work. The course content is very straightforward and at times feel like A-level material. i'm going to be in my 3rd year in September but i have no idea what i can possibly do with a degree like this. I want to work in a lab in the future but we don't get enough time in the lab and there's no accreditation . I don't want to have 3 years wasted , what can i do. someone told me to do a top up degree in bio-med but that's another year and i don't know if that will make my degree accredited. A lot of my friends are planing to do masters but i know i can't survive that , plus the stuff we learn is quite basic to go onto masters.

what can i do??? i just feel so discouraged right now,i feel like giving up. someone please advice me on this.

1. You need to start using the careers service plus researching as to what jobs you wish to do/ exist and whether you can bridge the gap by doing extra studies to get there. An Msc might give you useful specialist knowledge.
2. You need to focus and get the best degree class possible to keep your options open.
3. Find out what other students from the course have gone on to do.

Coventry is famous/ infamous for being to have your entire grade from a limited number of third year options, so get a good degree.

I’ve always wanted to work in a lab , preferably in a hospital but I can’t with this degree. I guess I have to do a top up degree for a year to do biomedical.

I just didn’t know the importance of this “accredited degree”stuff. If your undergrad is not accredited but you do an accredited MSc , is that acceptable ?

Its not my area, but you are being a bit dramatic over this.

The reason you are doing the degree you are is because you chose to.
The reason you dont know about the significance of subject matter or career options is because your research was inadequate.
All you need to do is find out which jobs you would like to do and then the most efficient way to bridge the gap. That is where you need to put some effort in. Find the person or profession which does the job you want and get their advice.

Have you done a placement or work experience? Look for the professional body that looks after the job type you are interested in and ask them.

Im looking at Lab assistant or is it a Biomedical scientist you want to be?

You need to contact the IBMS and ask them what is the quickest way to get accreditation. Just do what it takes and get on with it.

Here you go.

Contact them, get assessed and they will tell you what extra you need. You should do that now as it may be they will accept you transferring to a more suitable degree or top up that can get you accredited or they may say you need to do an MSC afterwards.

The point is keep it in perspective and theres no need to panic, just do what they suggest if that is your career goal.
